Partygoers wore their best “urban chic” to Bright Lights, Big City, the Jewish Community Alliance’s annual fundraiser Feb. 25 at the JCA.
After sweeping through an entrance draped with flowing white curtains, reminiscent of Miami Beach’s Delano Hotel, guests congregated in JCA’s courtyard, adorned with twinkling lights, as well as in several other similarly festive rooms within the facility. The atmosphere was a mixture of uptown sophistication combined with a hip downtown vibe.
Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit many JCA programs including senior activities, preschool, after-school care, and camp tuitions for families in need. Last year, the JCA awarded more than $330,000 in scholarships for children, families, and senior adults, said Lior Spring, a spokesperson for JCA.
This year the Block family served as honorary chairpersons of the event. Included among the chairs were Beverly Block and her sons, Jeff and Andy.
